COUNTRY HOUSE

G+
(So the story begins)
A                       E
City dweller successful fella
 Bm
Thought to himself: "Oops, I've got a lot of money"
  D             (DbBass)        Db
I'm caught in a rat race terminally 
  A
I'm a professional cynic
  E
But my heart's not in it 
  Bm
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit 
  D             (DbBass)        Db
Caught up in the century's anxiety
   E
It preys on him, he's getting thin 

        A
Now he lives in a house a very big house in the country
         D                                              A
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country 
                                                                E7   Eb
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country 
              D                                             A     Ab
Oh, it's like an animal farm that's the rural charm in the country

He's got morning glory and life's a different story 
Everything's going Jackanory Touched with his own mortality 
He's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac 
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland 
Oh, it's a century's remedy For the faint at heart A new start 
(Try the simple life)   He lives in a house A very big house In the country 
He's got a fog in his chest So he needs a lot of rest In the country 
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh Takes herbal baths In the country 
You should come to no harm On the animal farm In the country 

A             E               D                 A
Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why

C         G6             Fmaj7
This is a ballad for the good times
C         G6             Fmaj7
So put a battery in your leg
C         G6             Fmaj7
Put a rock beat on the record
C         G6                   F
And get it stuck there in your head
           G
You can be with me

C         G6          Fmaj7
I've got nothing to rely on
C         G6       Fmaj7
I've broken every bone
C         G6             Fmaj7
Everybody's stopped believing
C         G6             F
But you know you're not alone
           G
You can be with me

C         G6             Fmaj7
This is a ballad for the good times

Don't get better ...........
And you ain't coming back
You can be with me
If you want to be
       G
You can be with me

Intro/verse: Amin Bmin Emin
 
Caravan is lost
In the sun and the dust
No-one loves you
When you are lost
Yeah I've been a clown
Trying to pull my whole world down
I thought I was strong
Amin Bmin C D
But you are the one

Chorus :

G A C Bmin C Bmin C D x2
And when it comes, you'll feel the weight of it
The weight of it
And the day and you'll get away from it,
Away from it

D 
Sometimes everything is easy
Sometimes everything is easy

Post-Chorus:
Amin Bmin Emin
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

And the day, and you'll get away from it
Away from it

Sometimes everything is easy
Sometimes everything is easy

Caravan

A              Ab Bass  F#
I met him in a crowded room

             A            Ab Bass   F#
Where people go to drink away their gloom

Bm7                C#m7 D (E)    A          D         A
He sat me down and so began, the story of a charmless man

A            Ab Bass  F#                 A               Ab Bass  F#
Educated the expensive way, he knows his claret from his beaujolais

             Bm7                C#m7 D (E)
I think he's like to of been Ronnie Kray

           A            D             A
But then nature didn't make him that way



 A
He thinks he's educated, airs those family shares

C#m7   Bm7            C#m7    Bm7
Will protect him that we will respect him

 A
He moves in circles of friends

                      C#m7    Bm7
Who just pretend that they like him

   C#m7   Bm7                          E
He does the same to them, And when you put it all together

            D7                    A
There's the model of a charmless man



             A            Ab Bass    F#
He knows the swingers and their calvarly

Says he can get in anywhere for free

I began to go a little cross eyed

And from this charmless man I just had to hide



He talks at speeds he gets nosebleeds

He doesn't see his days

Are tumbling down upon him

And yet he tries so hard to please

He's just so keen for you to listen

But no one is listening

And when you put it all together

There's the model of a charmless man

Charmless Man

B, A, E, G, F, A#, C#

Verse 1:
B
Do you feel like a chain store?
A           E
Practically floored
G           F
One of many zeros
A#            C#
Kicked around bored
B
Your ears are full, but you're empty
A                E 
Holding out your heart
G                   F
To people who never really
A#           A 
Care how you are



Verse 2:
B
Do you go to the country?
   A          E 
It isn't very far
G                       F
Those people there will hurt you
A#              C#
'Cos of who you are
B
Your ears are full of the language
        A                   E 
There's wisdom there you're sure
G                    F
'Til the words start slurring
A#                     A  
And you can't find the door


Chorus:

           C#m
So give me Coffee & TV
B     A  
History 
C#m
I've seen so much
    E
I'm going blind
        A               B 
And I'm braindead virtually
     C#m
'Cos Sociability
     B               A 
It's hard enough for me
C#m                    E
Take me away from this big bad world
    
A                 D
And agree to marry me
                A
So we can start over again


D                 A
Aah, we can start over again
D                 A
Aah, we can start over again
D                 A
Aah, we can start over again
D                 A
Aah, we can start over again

C		B C
End of a century, oh it's nothing special

Good night t.v., you're all made up
And you're looking like (me)

End Of A Century

this is how I play it, I think it sounds right.Its the same chords through the whole song including the chorus. Figure out the strum 
from the song, its pretty simple.

Gm
Streets like a jungle

C
So call the police

F
Following the herd

Eb
Down to greece

F#   F
On holiday
Gm
Love in the 90's
C
Is paranoid
F
On sunny beaches
Eb
Take your chances looking for

[Chorus]
GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS
WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS
WHO DO BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS
WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS
ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE

Avoiding all work
Because there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
Get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schon
But we haven't been introduced

[Chorus]

                               Am           Am/G   D
        You've got to have the best tunes
                  G                G aug
        Or that's it, you've blown it
        
        F   E  A             D
Chorus: All we want is to be happy
        F  E   A                D
        In our homes like happy families
        F  E   C          Bb
        Be the man on the beach
                 Am           G
        With the world at his feet
               D         E7
        Yes, it could be you

     2. The likely lads
        Are picking up the uglies
        Yesterday they were just puppies
        Beery slurs, now life's a blur
        Telly addicts
        You should see them at it
        Getting in a panic
        Will we be there
        Trafalgar Square?

        (Chorus)

     3. So don't worry
        If it's not your lucky number
        'Cause tomorrow there's another
        Could be you, could be me

        (Chorus)

It Could Be You

Song 2

I felt there were a few things wrong with the chords that were already up so I made my own version. Just the main riff here, I'm sure you can find the correct lyrics elsewhere.

F5

G C E A
| | | |
5 5 8 8
| | | |

Eb5

G C E A
| | | |
3 3 6 6
| | | |

Ab5

G C E A
| | | |
1 3 4 x
| | | |

Bb5

G C E A
| | | |
3 5 6 x
| | | |

C5

G C E A
| | | |
5 7 8 x
| | | |

so the riff goes like this:

F5 x2, Eb5 x6, Ab5 x4, Bb5 x1, C5 x4

Have fun!!

Bb            D
All I want to be
   Bb                D
Is washed out by the sea
   Bb              D
No Death Star over me
      Gm7         D
Won't give me any peace
      Gm7             D
All I want is light relief
        Bb             D
Put the crazies on the street
          Bb                 D
Give them guns and feed them meat
        Bb                   D
They'll shoot the Death Star down
      Gm7             D
Dig a hole and put it down
           Gm7        E           G
A thousand miles underground

     A           C#m7
They say it's no game
        G                         Bm
There's strange news from another star
    A         C
I'm lost, I'm lost
        G                         Em
There's strange news from another star
Bb               D
Give me all your stuff

  Bb              D
Until I can't get up
Bb                    D
Watch the whole world freeze
         Gm7             D
Counting tin cans in our sleep
     Gm7              D
Submarines are diving deep
  Bb               D
I don't believe in me
  Bb               D
I don't believe in me
         Bb           D
All I've ever done is tame
         Gm7             D
Will you love me all the same
         Gm7                 E          G
Will you love me though it's always the same

     A           C#m7
hey say it's no game

        G                         Bm
There's strange news from another star
    A         C
I'm lost, I'm lost
        G                         Em
There's strange news from another star
Em
From another star
Em
From another star
Em
From another star

D
all those dirty words, jusqu'a la fin

they make us look so dumb, en plein soliel

we've been drinking far too much, jusqu'a la fin

you and I
G6           A6
collapse in love
A6    Dsus4    D       E        
and it looks like we might have made it

                D
what happend to us, jusqu'a la fin
                       Em
soon it will be gone forever, en plein soliel
                         D
infatuated only with ourselves, jusqu'a la fin
                       Em
and neither of us can think straight anymore.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because

I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.

A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

[chorus]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)


A                       E
when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
